I went to the hipster cafe this morning around 11. It was pretty good! The coffee was alright, but the milk tasted a little funky. I think their only cows milk option was reduced fat or something. Definitely wasn't off though. Cost me $6.50 though :(

I also went to a smoke shop because I saw they had some American chip thing called a taco or something. Kind of like a rolled up Dorito that's spicy. I don't care for them, but I have a friend who loves them so I got her a bag. I noticed that the smoke shop and coffee shop both had super good customer service though, like really good. The smoke shop lady wasn't in one of those prison cage looking things the rest seem to have. She wasn't behind anything really, it kind of looked like an apple shop that sold smokes and yankee lollies. And the bloke at the coffee shop was so upbeat and super nice.

I'm one of those people that's not really affected very much by caffeine, I drink it mostly for the social aspect, or because I feel like a warm drink. And I'm definitely not a buy (or even drink) a coffee every day type, not that I have the money to at 7 bucks a cup anyways.... But I think I will try and go again before I leave, honestly just because it's kind of like a chance to have a little wander and talk to some people.

My area has a nice cafe, too, but people in my area aren't very talkative, so despite my best efforts, the cafe people never do any sort of small talk, and my "hey, how's it going"s are always returned with a "what can I get for you". So it's nicer than one would imagine for people to match my energy

Edit: and the cafe man instantly pegged that I wasn't from here, despite my fake denim and longish hair, so I don't think I quite blend in
